Any interest in douglas costa ed? would be a good addition?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - not as far as i am aware sirtoto, spurs and utd have been courting him mate but not liverpool..

29 May 2017 23:12:23
Would be certainly a quality addition.

Agree3 Disagree0

Would be ideal for the left wing slot. If Brandt's stance on insisting a regular first team role does not change, then I say we go for Costa. Mane, Costa and 2 attacking fullbacks will actually give us a fighting chance against all teams that park the bus against us.

Agree6 Disagree1

keita has pretty much come out saying he is relishing the opportunity to play Champions league with Leipzig. Does that mean he isn't interested in joining Liverpool or is he just living in the moment?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed025's Note - liverpool are still very interested in him tadders but leipzig do not want or need to sell, it will be up to the player himself mate..

29 May 2017 19:27:15
Cheers Ed.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - no probs mate..

29 May 2017 19:44:09
Tadders in fairness mate he's not just going to come out and say blatantly that he definitely wants to leave, if a transfer fails to happen, than he's tarnished his relationship with the fans so it's best for him to say nothing on the potential transfer. He obviously wants to join us, it's just a matter of us convincing RBL to sell and paying the required amount. If klopp really wants him, he'll sign. Remember Coutinho saying he wants to stay at inter and fight for his place? Leipzig also have agreed a deal with a like for like replacement from their Austrian counterparts.

Agree11 Disagree1

29 May 2017 19:57:49
If you think he was going to come out say I'm leaving I give up on some people.

Agree4 Disagree1

29 May 2017 19:49:32
Any inclination to the players preference ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i dont echo, sorry mate..

29 May 2017 20:42:27
Sakho-what makes you think he definitely wants to join? The whole if Klopp wants him klopp will get him is rubbish, there is plenty of destinations he would pick over us.

Agree4 Disagree8

{Ed025's Note - im not sure about that craig, if he does leave leipzig im sure that liverpool would be high on his list mate..

29 May 2017 20:59:45
Like who cobra? He's Chelsea's third choice and Arsenal have stopped looking at him. He has the same agent as mane and he's also good friends with mane, so ya we're most definitely high on his list.

Agree6 Disagree3

29 May 2017 21:02:37
There are 4 teams in the premiership im pretty sure he would choose over us, maybe 5.
I'm not saying we're not an attractive proposition but to think klopp will get whoever he wants is wrong.

Agree3 Disagree8

{Ed025's Note - i dont think its a "klopp will get whoever he wants" thing craig, just that liverpool are in with a decent shout if he decides to leave mate..

29 May 2017 21:21:19
Okay, why would he have any interest in joining united who also have no interest in him. Spurs may be interested but can't afford his wages or the fee, Arsenal are out of the champions league and are looking for a defensively minded midfielder instead. He is Chelsea's third choice and Chelsea often get their main target and city have much more important needs to get done.

Agree7 Disagree2

29 May 2017 22:13:30
I'm not saying any of the other clubs want him I'm saying we are far from the top destination for players and it won't be as simple as klopp getting who he wants.
If Utd, Chelsea or City want a player we do we will rarely get them imo. I would still fancy him to choose Arsenal over us, even without champs league football. Spurs may not pay top wages but they are in a better position than us on the pitch and London life is a big pull for foreign players.

Agree4 Disagree5

29 May 2017 22:35:20
He obviously wants to join us? That's a bold shout. And bringing up Coutinho saying he wanted to stay at Inter before signing for us. Does that mean he's courting Barcelona because he said he wants to stay with us.

Agree4 Disagree1

29 May 2017 22:42:52
I'm sure Klopp wanted Goetze and Gundogen last season. That worked out well.

Agree2 Disagree6

29 May 2017 22:50:16
A question for any of the Eds that might know, what were the results of Keita's supposed heart problems?
Thanks in advance.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he collapsed during a game against wolfsberg in march polecat, he was diagnosed with blood circulation problems but its nothing that will affect his career mate..

29 May 2017 23:00:11
Ya I can see your point Craig but you've got to understand only one of the clubs you've mentioned are (a) interested and (b) not their preferred target so I have every right to feel confident.

Agree2 Disagree1

29 May 2017 23:01:50
Mane rejected spurs for us yo know.

He was at their training ground and that but they baulked at the 150k he wanted. So he came to us.

Shame because that would of been the title for them.

Imagine adding 15 more goals to that team.

Agree6 Disagree3

29 May 2017 23:04:44
A blood circulation problem may hamper his career i would have thought, but hope not!

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - an asperin will sort that out gareth..

29 May 2017 23:43:32
In most cases like that an Asprin may not even be needed just a slight change to diet and close monitoring is the norm for circulation issues like that.

Zero to worry about you can be sure the dietician has sorted this already.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - thanks for that doctor savvy.. :)

29 May 2017 11:59:37
Rumour is that Digne is surplus to requirements at Barca, I know we have looked at him in the past, do we hold any interest in him presently?

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - not that I am aware of.}

29 May 2017 13:09:53
Is he better than Moreno? I'm not sure.

Agree5 Disagree2

29 May 2017 15:18:04
I'd say he is a better defender than Moreno. I think he'd be a good addition to the squad. Digne as first choice with Sessenogn back up would be fine with me.

Agree6 Disagree2

29 May 2017 08:47:30
Eds, are we actually looking at Demarai gray. If so, is he seen as an alternative to salah?

Believable2 Unbelievable11

{Ed002's Note - Try the search engine please.}

28 May 2017 22:19:06
Ed's 002 I won't beat around the bush. Do you think Keita and Brandt will be playing for Liverpool next season?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I really have no idea - I cannot predict the outcome of negotiations that have yet to happen. It is worth noting that in the case of Keita, as of Friday, Liverpool had spoken with two gentlement representing Keita but as of that time they had not made any approach to RB Leipzig. Another side has approached RBL to discuss Keita and have been told that he is not for sale. Whether or not they stay firm on that position is another matter - they could simply refuse to negotiate or someone to write to them making a very significant offer which they may wish to conside (but remember that they do not have any particular need for the money). So I have no why to be able to say what the outcome of that is.

In the case of Julian Brandt it is different. Liverpool are very keen on the player but Brandt does not want to move and simply end up on the bench. This is something that players will consider seriously when moving to higher profile clubs with a lot of squad depth - because they want to be playing. This is a problem clubs like manchester City are facing with a couple of players already backing away as they cannot see how they will fit in. Hence the players are asking for assurances. So again it is difficult to see what the outcome will be, but Brandt is very much first choice for Klipperty and Liverpool.}

29 May 2017 08:36:43
Ed taking on board what youve said about Kieta, are we chasing other options in CM? Ed001 mentioned Carvalho and Paredes as viable options last week so wondered if efforts are being made currently, or does it seem all out for Kieta at this stage.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - we are keeping our options open mate, Keita is unlikely, hence the other options. I think Carvalho has been decided against now and looks extremely unlikely.}

29 May 2017 09:31:08
He's off to city ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 May 2017 08:59:41
Ok mate fair enough, any other names youve been told or is that about were we are at currently?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - sorry nothing new yet.}

29 May 2017 09:01:30
I always thought Carvalho would end up as a top player at a top club a few years back, did really well internationally both at u21 level and when he broke into the full team.
I watch little to no Portuguese football so don't know his week in week out form but is there a reason he hasn't made a move? he's starting to crack on, must be 25/ 26 now.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - a lot of people are unconvinced by him.}

29 May 2017 10:03:51
I'm guessing he just hasn't kicked on, I know people in the past have said he's a little lazy and slow, which is not good attributes for a holding midfielder! The fact Newcastle and West Brom seem to be heavily linked probably says it all.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 May 2017 12:08:22
Ed01, why is keita unlikely mate? Is it the fee or his club not willing to sell, or the player doesn't fancy it, thanks?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - all three.}

29 May 2017 12:19:52
Thanks for the reply ed.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

29 May 2017 12:27:56
Player doesn't fancy the move either? The longer this go's on and the more you and ed002 explain the situation developing we might as well move onto other options imo. Everything that has been said so far makes it sound almost impossible, especially if the player is against the move.

Agree3 Disagree0

29 May 2017 09:49:13
Thank you for your developed response to my question Ed's 002.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}

29 May 2017 17:31:07
Probably Paredes then.
I like Paredes but I do wonder what will happen to Grujic and Ejaria.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 May 2017 07:18:08
Apparently the demarai gray is looking to be completed in the next 48hrs. Tottenham came in late but his whole family are liverpool fans and his uncle is his agent. This is why we are sending ojo out to Newcastle! Gray is a very good signing raw talent.

Believable1 Unbelievable19

29 May 2017 07:25:19
Ojo barely played, what's the point of replacing him with a player who has done nothing really to even be called a raw talent.

Agree10 Disagree2

29 May 2017 10:38:49
I would just play Ojo instead personally.

Agree7 Disagree0
